Strange, I cannot reproduce this at all.

Preparing to replace dictionaries-common 1.5.17 (using
.../dictionaries-common_1.9.0_all.deb) ...
I tried again from scratch (emulating first installation). No problem found.
Tried once again in a chroot (I tried a good number of times before
uploading), both as upgrade and as first installation, no problem found.
>From the error messages, seems that a package tries in its config to load
both dictionaries-common.config and
/usr/share/dictionaries-common/dc-debconf-default-value.pl in a same perl
script. dictionaries-common.config already contains it, so never loads
/usr/share/dictionaries-common/dc-debconf-default-value.pl, just uses its
availability to test if is first installation or not.
In case you keep a full upgrade log, can you please send me the full list of
packages (in particular ispell dictionaries and wordlists) being upgraded at
that run? Info about currently installed ispell dictionaries and wordlists
should also help.
Thanks for your feedback,
